What is recorded here
Clearance rubble in Ballymaquiff South has buried part of the ringfort, but twenty-one metres of unbroken stone still mark the circle. Inside, an old wall cuts east to west, dividing the cashel into two rooms large enough for people, stock or secrets. The fair-condition boundary stands in level pasture, waiting for someone to remember what it kept.
In level pastureland. Circular cashel (diam. 21m), in fair condition, defined by a drystone wall. Field-clearance rubble has obscured the enclosing wall at SE. The interior is divided by an old field wall running from ENE to WSW.
